[h3]Demo versions[/h3]
I have decided to make the currently available demo version (0.4) the final one before the release of the full game. Shortly before release I plan to provide a final demo version that would allow progress up until the end of the first 'Cycle' (51 weeks in game, so around 30% of the game's total length).
[h3]Reasoning[/h3]
The reason for focusing on final release instead of demo version is to speed up the development (not having to focus on bugfix/polishing for each demo version). Instead, I can add all content and then bugfix it all at once.
[h3]Current progress[/h3]
Since last demo version released I have been able to implement the content that was planned for version 0.5 (Anima questline). At current pace, I should be able to meet the predicted release date (Q1 of 2026), but I won't hesitate to delay the release if I deem it necessary to provide a fully polished product.
